My viper car starter will only work if i am standing directly in front of my vehicle

ThersTHERS ONE IMPORT ANT THING ABOUCAR STARTERS AND THEY ARE SENSITIVE AND VOUNERABLE TO VIBRATION ISSUES DUE TO EXOTIC FIRM SUSPENSION AND UNFORGIVING PAVEMENT, ONE KEY EASY TRICK IS CHECKING THE CONNECTORS (WIRING DIRECTLY ON STARTER) IF NO VISABLE LOOSE NESS -SPRAY SOME WD-40 OR OTHER GOOD QUAILITY INHIBITOR RIGHT ON CONNECTORS . JUST A GOOD QUICK COAT. NOT OVERLY DRENCHED. I WOULD SUSPECT RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY. GOOD-LUCK FRIEND.

I take help from online websites that have this service like helping in repair some like reliable-store have instant help.. others are a bit slow which I don't prefer... rest is up to u.. U get free manuals

You just need to remove the two connected to the starter wire (ignition switch), and connect the car side of the two together. Then the ignition switch will control the starter again, without interferance.

The two-way remote responds when in range. Also, the system that it is programmed to must be a two-way unit. If this remote was purchased and programmed to an alarm/remote starter, the alarm/remote starter must be capable of two-way communication.

That remote can work with both a security system, and a combo unit security/starter.

Best bet is to take the vehicle and remote to your local Viper dealer and they can look the car over and tell you what was installed and help you learn how to use it.

go to www.directed.com this is the manufacturer of the viper remote starters, there you should be able to download instructions.
